North Korea’s next in Trump’s crosshairs
Brian Dowling Saturday, April 08, 2017

TESTING RESOLVE: North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un continues to launch ballistic missiles and could pose a nuclear threat, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton says.

Will Donald Trump Place Nuclear Weapons In South Korea?


President Trump is reportedly weighing plans to place U.S. nukes in South Korea or assassinate North Korea’s brutal dictator Kim Jong Un in response to the rogue nation’s relentless nuclear ambitions, including a potential strike on the West Coast.

The White House National Security Council presented the options as part of an accelerated review of U.S. policy on North Korea, ahead of Trump’s ongoing meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to NBC News.


The leaked proposals could be aimed at persuading Xi into pressuring North Korea — its ally and trade partner — to face the music and come back to the table over its nuclear weapons program, former U.S. ambassador to South Korea Kathleen Stephens told the Herald.

“I would imagine Xi and the Chinese would make a strong argument for why it’s necessary to try to re-engage and perhaps probably would be prepared to say they are ready to do even more to pressure North Korea,” Stephens said.

“But the trade-off would be some kind of commitment on the part of the U.S. to come back into the negotiation process” or scale back military exercises in the South China Sea.

North Korea this week fired a projectile that flew about 37 miles into the East Sea. It followed ballistic missile tests in February and March, as the isolated country defies United Nations sanctions and works on a missile that could deliver a miniaturized nuclear weapon to the continental U.S.

The plans are far from new additions to the U.S. foreign policy playbook and won’t come as a surprise to the Chinese, Stephens said. Moving more weapons to the Korean peninsula has been on the table since the U.S., under President George H.W. Bush, pulled its nukes from South Korea in 1991 to persuade North Korea to let international inspectors into its nuclear plants and re-energize diplomatic talks.

“The two options have been on the long list of possible options for a long time and they have generally been found to have far too many downsides,” Stephens said.

So far, Trump and Xi’s talks on North Korea have yet to materialize in a “package arrangement” to resolve the international concerns, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said yesterday.

“President Xi … shared the view that this has reached a very serious stage in terms of the advancement of North Korea’s nuclear capabilities,” Tillerson said.

“They discussed the challenges that introduces for both countries, but there’s a real commitment that we work together to see if this cannot be resolved in a peaceful way,” he said. “But in order for that to happen, North Korea’s posture has to change before there’s any basis for dialogue or discussions.”

The Pentagon has already deployed a $36 billion high-altitude missile defense system in South Korea — an upsetting move for China, which calls it a national security threat. Meanwhile, South Korea is pleading for the international community to address North Korea.

“Time is not on our side. We stand at the tipping point as North Korea is nearing the final stage of nuclear weaponization of its nuclear material,” South Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Ahn Chong-ghee reportedly said at a conference this week.

Without being an expert in war-military and the likes:

Even though Trump has not a good team to guide him on foreign policy Trump has taken a good move meeting with Xi because of trading and because of economics and Xi could be a good bridge between North Kore "issues". Hopefully agreements would be done and avoid any attacks on any one.

Which agreements have been taken in the Trump-Xi meeting?
Not much I would guess, that meeting was just a protocol to send a message that they are both willing to cooperate in their comercial-diiplomatic relationships. With China owning 1 trillion of USA Bonds and with the huge trading among USA-China, that is the path: cooperation. Yet, that might be not liked by other countries.

What is historic is that a Capitalist Eagle and a Communist Dragon have to fly along, perhaps to better ports and with their joined hegemony be able to balance the powers in the world to preserve peace the most posible.

Well of course they were. Its how the political game is played. Its also why, during their dinner the other night, Trump said, "Pass me the rolls....and btw, I just chunked 59 Tomahawk at Assad. Be sure to tell Fat Kimmy Boy that, wouldja"

But hey, whatever, keep doing the whole "Trumps gonna NUKE the whole world" thread title spiel.laugh

Perhaps you could suggest America print another trillion like Obama did and finally settle the US debit to china.

meanwhile you'll be happy to know the American Pacific Carrier fleet is Commanded by a Lady also the same Female Commander is in command of 3rd Pacific fleet as well.
and I'm sure we will all feel more comfortable over the health of the north Korean kids with her femininity calling the shots...

The US Navy has cancelled planned port calls in Australia for the USS Carl Vinson and is instead sending the aircraft carrier toward the Korean Peninsula amid concerns about new weapons tests by North Korea, military officials said.

The US military is sending the Vinson strike group, including the carrier and two guided-missile destroyers, to operate in the Western Pacific Ocean in response to Pyongyang’s recent missile tests.

There is widespread speculation based on satellite imagery and analysis that North Korea may try to carry out another weapons test in the coming days as the country prepares for its most important national holiday — the anniversary of the birth of the country’s founder on April 15.

Macroeconomics is way more than just the "circulating" money not that i am an expert in macroeconomics but do you have any idea of what the public debt does to a country's economy?

Bush got a 86% % increase of debt in comparison to Clinton.
Obama got a 35 % increase of debt in comparison to Bush.
The question: why has USA such a debt?
(which btw China is not the only big creditor)

Perhaps, you could suggest to Trump just to print 1 trillion more then and a "bit" more one to pay for the expenses of the "Southern White House".


meanwhile you'll be happy to know the American Pacific Carrier fleet is Commanded by a Lady also the same Female Commander is in command of 3rd Pacific fleet as well.

I do not give a peanut who is in charge of what in the military ( I am for peace) and if your comment is to critique women's emotions, perhaps you are right you are a man and you never will give birth to a child, so you will never know what is it to nourish a life inside your own life.
